![]() ![]() ![]() Therefore, the pursuit of anything and everything is absurd.īefore you go thinking that Camus was mad depressed, though, check out this quote from the essay: "The struggle itself is enough to fill a man's heart. So no matter how much any of us would like to believe that the things we do have importance on a larger scale, they just don't. Camus didn't believe in any sort of god, or that there's any such thing as concrete truth. ![]() In Camus's mind, our continual search for meaning in life, for some sort of definitive answer that explains it all, is some ways just as pointless as Sisyphus's eternal task. Perhaps most famously, Albert Camus's essay "The Myth of Sisyphus" uses Sisyphus's predicament to represent the plight of all humanity, which he says is totally absurd.

![]() There are some creepy moments, though the worst to me were the ones when Ben was threatened by people more so than any of the supernatural elements. I thought the story had a slow start, but many do, and around the 100th page it picked up and escalated steadily from there. Young Ben has this and more on his mind as he struggles with his own identity, tension between himself and his Oma Katrina, whispers about his witchcraft and unnatural ways which have begun to spread among the citizens of Sleepy Hollow, and a voice which seems to call to him from deep in the haunted words beyond the family farm, a voice accompanied by the unmistakable sound of hoof beats. Is it the Horseman returned after all these years? Is it the Kludde, a monster from Dutch folklore that can change its form and lure people to their death? Is it someone from the village, someone they know and trust? More deaths and other strange occurrences follow, and Ben can’t seem to stay out of the middle of it all.

Orphanages for kids that could have parents, but are born under the stigma of being illegitimate and thereby the societal death and endless disgrace and danger of ostracism for the mother, are a logical result and a part of the setting oft he bittersweet tragicomedy Irving serves the reader. How the bigotry, insanity, and inhumanity of institutionalized stigmatization of and hatred against women, especially regarding pregnancy, marriage and the control about bastardization of humans, lead to disgusting world views and practices that were omnipresent just a few decades ago and still are in many parts of the world, is a key element of the novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their first warning was the percussive bang of a gun.
